Vintage shots from days gone by!

This photograph features the second of four sno-cats - door code B, nicknamed 'Rock 'N Roll'. The vehicle was saved from the crevasse and was returned to the manufacturer as a museum piece upon completion of the expedition

 

They moved to Portland and I think they are moving back to the Rogue Valley.

 

Lots of info on you tube. Here's one video, it's long but you can fast forward to when the Sno cat gets stuck.

 

Uncle Fester tightening a chrome plated screw joint on a rusted headlight bracket. Triumph's have always been hands on.

 

Not commercially related to the car company that bore their name, Louis and Arthur Chevrolet ventured into aero engines in 1928. Interesting engine; Great Depression killed Chevolair as a company. I believe they were test flown, at least.

 

An up side downer, aiming at low profile or?

 

Lots of inline and vee aircraft engines were inverted, back in those days. One of the benefits was that it placed the narrowest part on top, increasing the pilot's field of vision. They were all taildraggers back then...!

 

Yep, I think your right the Keck car had a vertical grill where'as the Tuffy car had a horiz. grill.
